Mount Blanc Climbing (part 1)

Steemy was determined to conquer Mount Blanc. he and the team have prepared themselves. They do very heavy training, you know the risks they face while climbing Mount Blanc.
They also read various supporting books and seek advice from other senior climbers to get to the top. The information they get is Mount Blanc is not always friendly to climbers.
Extreme changes that can happen at any time can be the greatest threat to climbers. Snowstorms can come when the wind is calm. When the weather is sunny, it can turn out to be very unfriendly.
Extreme weather changes can reduce air temperatures from 30 degrees Celsius to 9 degrees Celsius in a short time. At the top of Mount Blanc, air temperatures can even drop to minus 15 degrees Celsius. Not to mention if there is wind, it can reach minus 30 degrees Celsius.
That all can give terror both physical and mental climbers.
But it's not just extreme weather changes and snow storms that are a scourge when climbing Monut Blanc. There are challenges that can make climbers endangered. Path that is prone to landslides is also one of the risks that must be faced by climbers.
All can happen without seeing the season. Not only happens in winter, but also in summer. Sunlight can soften layers of snow and cause landslides.
the climbers also should not ignore the extreme weather changes that can occur at any time.
That is why the climbers are also asked to make adjustments to the temperature around Mount Blanc, so that the body is ready at extreme temperatures.
Without sufficient acclimatization, climbers can also get altitude sickness. this can happen when they are at an altitude of 2,500 masl. As a result of altitude sickness can be characterized by nausea, dizziness to death.
Knowing the situation, Steemy and his team prepared well. they knew Mount Blanc could be the last place they would visit. But they are determined not to make Mount Blanc their grave. so they try hard. They know very well the severity of the terrain they will face so there is no reason not to make good preparations.
Good preparation can be a valuable capital for climbers to reach the summit of Mount Blanc.
Physical preparation is done with every day they regularly practice. The basic exercise they do sports. They also practice diving traditionally without using oxygen tanks. They routinely practice rock climbing. They also agreed to make mountain climbs that have snow at the top like Kartsen Peak in Papua.
this is done to train the ability to climb snowy mountains. The ability to climb snowy mountains is absolutely necessary. They have learned the basic knowledge to climb the Alps like Mont Blanc before .
They are diligently conducting trials to climb mountains that have extreme changes as well as Mount Salak in West Java.
These climbs are expected to provide basic training towards the summit of Mount Blanc.
In addition they also prepare the equipment needed. Equipment becomes the main capital that must be prepared. Mount Blanc's character is different from mountains in tropical regions like Indonesia. Climbers need to prepare ice axes, jagged snow boots and thick clothing to ward off wind and cold air.

The last step they took was to contact the guide. They must hire a professional guide can be one of the safest options to climb Mont Blanc.

Steemy and his team ready to climb Moun Blanc. They hope God bless them.
